Thanks a lot MHM, I finally having a little curl poppage and can't stop touching them! I have never had curls/coils like this before.

SN: I wonder who's going to write the first book or make a product line just for mhm'ers

Did my second cycle of the modified regimen tonight (water rinse, clay, gel). Cycle 41 in total.
I had my hair in a puff for 2 days. I took it down and sprayed with water to soften the gel and lightly detangle. Then I water rinsed. Some shed hairs were removed but I did my detangling during the clay step. I notice that my hair was easier to detangle today, than it was 2 days ago and my hair continues to clump and separate into smaller sections that are still visible after I apply my gel.

sweetpea I documented my mhm journey on this thread, so its here. I stopped posting pics after my 2nd BC because there was literally no hair to see and then I had a set back where my progress actually reversed very rapidly. I plan to do a 6 month comparison where you all will be very amazed at my transformation.

Here's a sneak peak at my hair at its best since my original BC, I think I posted it before:

Here is my hair today, on its way back to life:

Sorry about the sideways pics, I can't do anything about that.

For some reason my phone's camera doesn't show details, it kinda blurs everything and its starting to piss me off.

I love your hair, your cut is very becoming on you.

I finally have a WNG routine that I can complete in between my modified MHM sessions...and I can make a struggle puff that helps me stretch my hair after my WNG and also helps the drying process along. I really want to clay but I just don't have time during the week unless I let something else go.

 

[Guinan]

Today was wash day for me and it wasn't too good. I had wanted to use some of my stash. So I had decided to use my shea moisture shampoo. After I shampooed I then did acv the rinse. My hair was very tangled. I currently have my DC in my.hair and I will see how my hair will respond tomorrow.

 

[KiWiStyle]

Do you dilute your gel to make it stretch farther.

No I haven't bothered yet but I will with my next jar.

tashboog had good results with 3 tbs of rhassoul with 2 tbs of bentonite. I'm going to do mine this weekend with a slightly different ratio since my hair doesn't like bentonite.

Keep me updated. It doesn't take much for my hair to get dry so I have to be super careful.

In michigan the 16 oz is still 28 bucks. Every pay day I go back and forth wether to get it or not lol

85% dry Co washed with Perfectly undone condish ( soooooo much slip) and slapped some KCNT.

I can't remember if it was Whole Foods or Target, probably WF where I saw it costs some exorbitantly outrageous price...nevertheless, I will buy it tho, Lol!

I typed this whole thing out yesterday only to have my phone cut off and restart just as I was hitting post reply.

Anway...I've been doing the modified method successfully for I think close to 2 wks now. I was water rinsing the night before last with no intention of detangling but I felt a few knots on my ends so I began working them out. I've discovered that I can detangle with no product while standing under the water stream. Who knew? Also I used flaxseed gel on my wng yesterday and though I had less definition in my stubborn area, I really liked my hair. It had a lot of movement. I was using flax gel before and it was always so gloppy to apply. This time I made it according to dubaidee's directions which was much thinner and easily sprayable. Me and spray on gel are besties! I don't care what gel I use, it will go diluted into a spray bottle. Best thing that ever happened.

My ends though...I'm dealing with knots and tangles galore. I think I need a really good trim. In fact what I really think I need is to get this old color cut off my ends, I bet it would make a difference. Other than that, all is going well.

I was only sharing it for the gel. I don't know anything about the other products. In this regimen butters aren't recommended anyway. In didn't look at the leave in.

When I read your first sentence I thought, she's always buying something. Then I said to myself, so am I lol. You should try the gel soon, especially with your hair coming along the way it is. I wanna see if you like it.

 

[hairtimes5]

Went and got a trim today. I asked the stylist to take at least a half an inch off. Just clay washed and wow detangling went so much better. I detangled with no product but under the water stream so I ended up using much less clay and my hair ball at the end was half the size it was at first. Don't know why it took so long for me to figure it out. I just dusted my ends in January but I probably needed more of a trim.

Did you straighten or blow out for your trim?

 

[discodumpling]

Happy 1st day of Spring! Tried something new today and i can tell I won't like it but i've committed to the style and it's too late to wash out! I've had the shea moisture mousse under the bathroom sink for a year now and used it in place of gel this morning...it's already turning into a bush! I know darn well I need gel to make these curls submit...they are straight up laughing at this mousse!

I'll share pics when she dries completely! Have a great day and enjoy the last snow of the season (OR NAH?) if you're in my neck of the woods!

 

[hairtimes5]

Did you straighten or blow out for your trim?

I didn't do either. I friend of mine referred me to her stylist because she trims natural hair without blowing out or straightening. My hair was in a wng amd she very gently combed the ends of each section with a wide tooth comb.She did a really good job. I'll definitely be going to her from her on out.

I do seem like I'm always buying something. It's funny because I rarely do and I try to keep my stash small. But I will buy if I catch a good sale. I'm probably finished with product for a while. I can hold most purchases off until Black Friday

I know I should but I'm so over wngs right now I just want to stay simple and lazy with my flat twist.

I do plan on taking an update picture for the end of March, so I will definitely do it then. So I will try it between the 29th and 31st.

Do you dilute yours?

Do you dilute yours?

Yes I dilute it and put it in a spray bottle. I add enough water until it looks like slightly thickened water. This gel last so long. I opened the bottle I'm using now in mid-December and I just started diluting it about 2 wks ago. I still have enough for another month, maybe longer. And all I do are wngs, atleast every 3 days.

How does your hair respond to applying the gel via spray bottle versues applying it in sections? I'm afraid if I do the spray bottle method I won't get all of my head
